Kenmore Refrigerator 253.6179410D (2536179410D, 253 6179410D) Parts

This door stop is the replacement limiter that keeps an appliance door from over-rotating, protecting hinges and cabinet edges. It restores consistent door travel and helps the door close smoothly and securely. What it does:

• Limits how far the door opens to prevent hinge or cabinet damage
• Helps the door close in the correct position and reduces slamming
• Fits into the door/hinge assembly to provide a stable stop point
• Common symptom: door opens too far, bangs against surrounding cabinetry, or hang/align issues

• High-level replacement — remove door/hinge trim as needed per your model's instructions
• Use basic hand tools; keep fasteners separate and note orientation for reassembly
• Disconnect power if working near electrical components (applies to ovens/microwaves)

This is a replacement mounting screw used to secure the defrost timer assembly to the refrigerator control housing, restoring proper fastening and preventing the timer from shifting or vibrating during operation. What it does:

• Secures the defrost timer to the control housing so the timer stays in position.
• Prevents vibration or movement that can cause intermittent contact or noisy operation.
• Helps maintain reliable defrost cycle timing by keeping the timer properly aligned.
• Addresses symptoms such as a loose or missing fastener, rattling behind the control panel, or a timer that shifts when the door is opened.

• Unplug the appliance before starting work to prevent electrical shock.
• Access the control housing or timer bracket per your model's service instructions.
• Use the correct screwdriver or driver bit; do not overtighten—stop when snug to avoid stripping.
• Retain removed hardware for reference and compare screw length/threads before installing.

This is a replacement parts catalog — a printed service parts list that helps identify parts and part numbers for repairs. Good for technicians and owners who need an accurate parts reference. What it does:

• Lists appliance parts with reference numbers and illustrations for identification
• Helps you find the correct part number before ordering replacements
• Useful for diagnosing which components are related to a symptom
• Provides an organized parts breakdown for service planning

• No installation required; reference document only
• Keep in a dry, accessible place for service use
• If using during repairs, follow appliance safety guidelines and disconnect power before servicing
